A ball of mass of 500grams, moving with the velocity of 1m/s impinges on a
ball mass 1kg, moving with a velocity of 0.75m/s. At the time of impact, the
5 3 15.a velocities of the balls are parallel and inclined at 60° to the line joining their
centers. Determine the velocities and direction of the balls after impact. Take, e

and are connected by a string running parallel to planes and passing over a
frictionless pulley, If the coefficient of friction between planes and blocks is 1.3,
find the resulting acceleration and tension in the string.
